Alt cause to climate change – China burns a third of CO2 emissions

The great polluter

We all know that dragons wallow in sulphurous caves snorting fire. Perhaps that is why China is responsible for around a third of global CO2 emissions. By way of contrast, it has pumped out more pollution in eight years than the UK has in 220 years. It is building the equivalent of two new coal-burning power stations every week. It is doing this to build its industrial and military might and certainly not to do its bit toward tackling climate change. We need to spell out their responsibility, on this and many other world-threatening issues, instead of being coaxed and cajoled into deferential begging.
